Hornacek came to Utah on february 21, 1994 to play against the Jazz with his Philly 76ers team. In that game Horny shot 2-7 and had 5 turnovers in just 23 minutes. The 76ers were led that night by former jazzman Eric Leckner who scored an efficient 16 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and blocked 4 shots. The Jazz won 119 to 92.
5 nights later Hornacek would join the Jazz for the first of many battles against Houston, the Jazz won. Then Two nights later Hornacek made his debut in Utah against the same Houston team. The Jazz would win again. Horny helped create a magical season where Utah won 53 games and made it to the conference finals against Houston, and that is where the magic would end, the Jazz lost the series 1-4 (14).

Mark Eaton blocked 14 shots in a game twice in his career. BTW, the NBA record is 17 by Elmore Smith. Blocks were not tracked back in the days of Russell and Chamberlain.
John Stockton averaged >14 assists per game in two seasons: '89-'90 (14.5) and '90-91 (14.2). Round up and you can include the next season as well in today's thread (13.7).

In their 14th season in the league (1987-88), the Jazz ranked 14th in the league in FTs. Rickey Green averaged 14 (13.8) minutes per game as John Stockton firmly claimed the #1 PG role (Green and Stockton split minutes almost evenly the prior year, with Green getting a few more per game than Stockton). I'll round and give Stockton credit for averaging 14 assists per game this season (13.8). Melvin Turpin had a PER of 14 (13.8). Stockton attempted 14 3's in the 1988 playoffs (and made 4).
The Jazz lost to the Chicago Bulls in their 14th game of the season. When playing on the 14th of any month, the Jazz went 2-3, including a 14-point loss to the Nuggets on Valentine's Day in 1988. The Jazz went 35-18 (including playoffs) when Stockton had 14 or more assists.

In their 14th season in Utah (1992-93), the Jazz were 14th in the league in FGs and opponent offensive rebounds. John Crotty put up 14 3's but only made 2. James Donaldson had 14 FGAs. Ty Corbin's PER was 14(.4) that season. In their 14th game of the season, the Jazz handily beat the Timberwolves. The Jazz were a perfect 2-0 when playing on the 14th. The Jazz lost one game by exactly 14 points (to the Knicks). The Jazz won 2 games by exactly 14 points (Warriors and 76ers).
Louie Nelson spent 2 seasons with the Jazz. The pick that the Bullets used to select Nelson was traded from Phildelphia (with Archie Clark) to the Bullets for Fred Carter and Kevin Loughery. Carter was born February 14, 1945 and was also the 14th pick of the third round in the 1969 draft. His different uniform/team combinations add up to 14 (#3 with the Bullets, #3 with the 76ers, #5 with the Bucks, #3 with the Bucks). Carter's career regular-season PER was 14 even. Loughery's career PER rounds to 14 (13.7).
Mo Howard only lasted one season in the NBA. He started the year with Cleveland, and went on to sign with the Jazz in February 1977 after being waived by Cleveland in December 1976 (Merry Christmas to him). Howard played 14 (13.8) minutes per game for the Jazz. In that 1976-77 season, the Jazz won 14 games under coach Butch Van Breda Kolff (along with 12 losses). According to wikipedia Butch played a key role in the Jazz giving up the rights to Moses Malone for a draft pick that went to the Lakers as compensation for signing Gail Goodrich. Moses did a lot of amazing things, including being in the top 10 in total rebounds 14 different seasons (1 ABA, 13 NBA).
Slick Watts spent part of the 1977-78 season with the Jazz. Over 39 games, Watts averaged a combined 14 (13.8) points, rebounds, and assists per game. The Jazz traded a draft pick to the Sonics to get Watts. The Sonics used that draft pick to draft Danny Vranes out of the University of Utah. Vranes would later be involved in a trade that sent a draft pick to the Sonics that was used to draft Shawn Kemp, who played 14 seasons in the NBA.
Tommie Green played for the Jazz in the 1978-79 season. Green played 14 (13.7) mpg. That season was a rough one for the Jazz, as they didn't get their 14th win until January 1979.
Rickey Green played for the Jazz from the 1980-81 through the 1987-88 seasons. He was good enough to prevent John Stockton from being the full-time starter until his (Stockton's) fourth season. In 1982-83, Green averaged 14(.3) ppg for the Jazz. In 1983-84, Green had 10 games with 14 or more assists. He played a total of 14 seasons in the league.
Nate Johnston finally saw NBA action with the Jazz in 1989-90 after previously being waived by the Heat and Trailblazers. He was with the Jazz for 1.5 months and had a combined 14 points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks over 6 games. In his first game with the Jazz, the Jazz won by 14 points against the Spurs. In his last game with the Jazz, the Jazz beat the Rockets by 14 points. Johnston would go on to make 14 FGs with the Trailblazers after signing with them in January 1990.

Now that is an amazing coincidence. Great find.
Eric Murdock was born on June 14, 1968. He only spent his rookie season (1991-92) with the Jazz before being traded with Blue Edwards and a 1992 first-round pick to the Bucks for Jay Humphries and Larry Krystkowiak. Humphries will be featured later in the countdown. Previously in his career, Krystkowiak was traded with a draft pick to Portland for Steve Colter, who wore no. 14 with Philadelphia in parts of the 1986-87 and 1987-88 seasons. Colter would later be traded to the Kings for Byron Irvin. Irvin arrived in Sacrament along with the draft pick used to select Pete Chilcutt. Chilcutt played 26 games with the Jazz in the 1999-00 season. He played for the Cavs and Clippers later that season, ending his NBA career that year with the Clippers where he played 14(.5) minutes per game over 24 games.
Jeff Hornacek played 14 seasons in the NBA. He scored 14 or more points 241 times with the Jazz. He had 5 games with 10 or more assists. In one of those games (April 11, 1995) he scored 14 points. He had 14 blocks in the 1998-99 season. He played his second-to-last NBA game on May 14, 2000 against Portland in the playoffs, with his last game coming two nights later.
